All of it
James 2:5 New English Translation
5 Listen, my dear brothers and sisters! Did not God choose the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he promised to those who love him?
All of it
Poor and needy and all alone so Jesus came to save
The rich and puffy and self-contained Jesus put to shame
The rebellious and rowdy, so far gone, Jesus took the blame
The sophisticated and good, as they could, Jesus kept His Name
Deprived, vile and filthy Jesus loves to cleanse
Already good and acceptable, how could Jesus bless?
Imprisoned, enslaved and worthless, Jesus will give you rest
Riding high in power and strength, you don’t need Jesus’ best
Jan Wienen
